reporting what this White House is doing but it's too bad they were MIA before this disaster was elected, supposedly. Too late for pats on backs.

It's happened. They messed up. Done. Do you propose to hate the media eternally? Then hooray! You've just joined the Trump team.

They're doing better now. What we need to do is reward good behavior, and write in when they do things right. We need to reward them with letters and ratings. Constantly flapping on about how they messed up and we'll never forgive them is, frankly, stupid. The Democratic Party is at its lowest ebb of my lifetime. We need all the allies we can get. Our politicians are terrible at messaging. If someone invented a drug that resulted in weight loss, brightened teeth, improved vision and hearing, strengthened muscle tone, gave multiple orgasms with every dose, was nonaddictive and for that matter could cure addiction to any other drug, tasted great, and had absolutely no adverse side effects at any dose, your average Democratic senator/representative couldn't sell it at a rehab clinic.

This is not a time to discard allies.

1st I said it is nice some of the media is calling out trump, 2nd just because they seem at times to hold trump/repugs feet to the fire doesn't mean they are a democratic ally. 3rd yes they MESSED UP and yes I blame them in large part for the mess we are in just as I blame the assholes who voted for trump and will take more than a few talking heads who timidly report something bad about trump/repugs to make me hold hands again. And 4th you can call me ugly , stupid , smelly etc. But never call me part of trumps team . Here's to a better future
